Hey Scott! I’m looking to soon go on a trip to somewhere completely new (I’ve only been to a bunch of states, mostly for work, and another province; I’m Canadian.) I’ve subbed to your email for awhile and caught your other AMAs.

My question is: it’s very overwhelming for a new traveller to book a flight to somewhere completely new, as opposed to booking a package. What would you recommend for seeking out a good hotel or resort deal to complement the flight?

I know this question is dumb, but I’ve never done anything like this before!

Could this help someone with multiple sclerosis?

Have you done any research with MS?

I have a friend who is deep in anxiety and recently received ECT. It did not help. Her docs keep changing her medications; evidently they aren't working and she gets side effects. She is now on a med that hopefully will work -- they said it can take up to six weeks. What else can she try if this med doesn't work? I am scared for her as she has suicidal thoughts and tendencies. She asked her psychiatrist to go inpatient and has gone to the ER multiple times but she said they said she isn't "bad" enough.

I am on low doses of various medications often used for anxiety but to treat pain. Are there any effects I should worry about if I haven't experienced them yet? I'm currently on a high dose of gabapentin, and low doses of amitriptalyne, and, soon, cymbalta. Should I worry? What side effects are common at low doses?
